Production of $I ¨ ^{+}$ and $K^{+}$ mesons in argon-nucleus interactions at 3.2 AGeV

arXiv:2303.16243 · doi:10.1007/JHEP07(2023)174

Abstract

First physics results of the BM@N experiment at the Nuclotron/NICA complex are presented on Ï+ and K+ meson production in interactions of an argon beam with fixed targets of C, Al, Cu, Sn and Pb at 3.2 AGeV. Transverse momentum distributions, rapidity spectra and multiplicities of $I ¨ ^{+}$ and $K^{+}$ mesons are measured. The results are compared with predictions of theoretical models and with other measurements at lower energies.
